Firstly, it's not "name-calling" to accurately describe what you are openly describing - preferring people of one race to the people of another race, or creating policies that advance the primacy of one racial group at the expense of another - as a "racialist" or "racist" policy. I am not ascribing moral value to racism, but I think it's important to understand that, unless if you establish an autoarky in your economic system and effectively can close yourself off from the rest of the world, a racialist policy in how you manage your population has wide-ranging demographic and diplomatic implications.

I will also say that to have a genuine discussion about the underlying social, economic, and political causes of immigration, one has to frankly understand and discuss the nuances of the policies and practices of the State that have led to the circumstance where it becomes anywhere from permissive of to reliant upon foreign populations in order to function.

You seem to rant about foreign populations in your country - whatever the case may be - without acknowledging or being interested in discussing the factors and complicity of your own country and its people in creating the circumstances that led these foreign populations to your shores to begin with.  You're trotting out nativist tropes like "we're being forced to open our borders" (by whom? why?).  The truth is often times messier and far less convenient.  You have foreigners in your country because your political and economic leaders need them.  And things aren't changing because your view, frankly, is in the  minority.

I suggested a few basic tracks that could help change the nature of the conversation: improve the birth rate of your population, ensure that your neighbors are successful and prosperous states, and create a better regime of assimilation and integration in order to prevent foreign populations from effectively dilluting your national identity.  But you don't seem interested in discussing the specifics here, and just want to villainize people for being in your country.

I am 99.8% Caucasian, by the way, so I am not exactly advancing a non-White view here, given that I am White myself and generally privileged anywhere in the Western World.  I am, however, acknowldging that a nativist and racialist perspective often does not appreciate a sense of accountability or ownership for the creation of the current circumstance.  And in your country, there are policies and practices in place that require an under-class of foreigners to properly service your demographic and economic needs.  Simply put.
